Gamestop, Trade in an Xbox One, get a brand new Xbox, FIFA 18, EA Jersey + 1 Game

bertie4evr

Title says it all really, I've heard it can be any Xbox One 500GB. You get the Ronaldo Edition FIFA 18 and a choice of Forza or Minecraft.

Surely deal of the year?

Thanks OP. My Xbox One is on the way out, so this would be perfect. Can't see any terms and conditions, would the old one just need to be traded in with the power brick?

mik_da_man

You need the power brick, a hdmi cable and controller.

Got one myself last night, fantastic deal.

If you're not into FIFA you may be able to trade that in straight away, making it pretty much free!

I must be missing somethnig here..
Why would they give out a brand new xbox in exchange for a used one?

IvoryTower

i assume there'll be a big price drop when the new console arrives

maybe clear stock?

Yeah, I got it this morning. The Ronaldo Edition was released last night, so it's coinciding with that I'm guessing?

Yeah, there were conflicting reports from staff that the deal was only for the standard edition released on Friday but that definitely appears to not be true.

Do you have to give in your Kinect if it came with your console?

Nope, didn't even ask for the box or extra controllers. One controller, a HDMI cable and the console.

Which Dublin shops are people going to? My local one is saying they don't even have the bundle in stock until Friday.

If you are trading in your Xbox One. Dont reset it. Just delete the profile and leave one game installed. I set up a dummy profile and left and old game installed on mine when I brought it in. I brought in the game that was installed to so he could test it. Only took about 10 minutes to test it

I'd suggest making sure that your console isn't set as your 'Home' console as well though.

Later images of the promotion included it



Can confirm anyway, I got FH3 + Hot Wheels expansion with mine

Blanchy90

Thanks i only got my xbox in April but i might trade it in for that deal

Sync

Is that the Xbox One S?
edit: Sorry I see it is the S

Might take the deal if I can, although I already ordered Fifa, so if I got the disc I guess I could sell it on?

I presume you are just deleting the profile from the Xbox and not fully

My local store is adamant that FIFA isn't out, and nobody can get the bundle, and nobody has got the bundle, and that 6 people have come in this morning showing the picture posted in this thread, and it's false advertising

It was Blanch. I just called them and they said they've just been emailed to say the offer is on. Now my Mrs is being sent in for the third time :pac:

They were very apologetic, said they had been turning people away all morning.

GameStop probably only make around €50 profit per Xbox sold.

The One S is about to price drop when the 4k Xbox comes out so they get rid of stock and gain xboxs that they can sell for €150+ pure profit second hand.

The trade in deal is for an Xbox One to an Xbox One S.

You would probably get no more than €50-€70 to trade in your 360.

Theyll give 40 cash for fifa so im upgrading my console for 30 lol
